Today’s the first day of autumn. I love this time of year because it’s leading us into cooler days & crisp nights. Plus all of the family gatherings & holidays and the traditions that go with them.
Saturday my youngest sister Morgan came over for dinner and stayed to watch Trading Spaces with us. I loved the checkerboard pattern Doug did in the bedroom in the first episode. I can’t say I liked the new designer’s room though. I did really like the fabric she used for throw pillows & the backing on the bench she made. But I thought the benches looked uncomfortable for a tv room. And who uses wallpaper borders? If I’ve got a professional designer in my house I don’t want her using something that doesn’t require much creativity & that I could easily do myself after a quick trip to Lowe’s. Crown molding would have looked so much nicer and would have elongated the walls. Just my opinion though. She’s the pro!
While Morgan was there I pulled out my afghan to work on and she became very interested. “You made that? How do you do it? Show me how!” She learned in about 15 minutes and was off and running.
So yesterday we went to the new HUGE super Wal-Mart and picked up a needle and some yarn for her. She’s making an afghan of her own now. I think that’s so cool. I hung out with her at her house for a while last night crocheting and watching the Emmy’s. I thought Conan did a great job of hosting. Stayed up too late though and will probably yawn right through today!
